Lemon Ricotta Muffins

January 10, 2012 ·

Bring on citrus season! When life gives me a bowl of lemons, you better believe I’m going to make some muffins! And perhaps some lemonade to wash them down, but that’s another post all together. For now it’s all about muffins, as these Lemon Ricotta Muffins definitely deserve the spotlight. They are bright, perfectly sweet and bonus – they’re low in fat, though you would never know it. The ricotta cheese gives the muffins a moist, soft texture, and the flavor goes perfectly with the lemon. The taste is reminiscent of delicious lemon ricotta pancakes, only a bit more portable.

With the wonderful citrus bounty upon us, over the next few weeks I will be sharing several recipes using citrus fruits. In the meantime, grab those lemons and give these muffins a try!
